Sliding door decision

I have a high top that started out as a panel van. I need a new sliding door and wondered if it would look odd if I fitted one with flush fitted rubbers that was a camper door rather than a cut out panel van door. I need a new door desperately as each tim I close it more metal falls off! :(

Is the handle length the same? If it isn't, then it won't.

Handle might be changed, is it late door or early

C reg is 1986 so that would be a late, changeover was 1984.

To fit straight on you need a pre 1984 door easy to tell as the early has a long handle and handle indent , the late one has both smaller handle and handle indent.
so no it wont fit.
